EdgeVerve launches Blockchain Framework for financial services

The framework, introduced at the Infosys Confluence global client summit in San Francisco, has been developed to deliver value-generating solutions and technologies based on blockchain.

 

The EdgeVerve Blockchain Framework is a permissioned ledger that allows banks to rapidly deploy blockchain-based services for varied business areas. 

 

Designed specifically for the banking sector, it can scale to the levels needed to support international, cross-border transactional business. 

 

These capabilities make applications built on this framework a viable platform to run payments and other high volume transactional banking services. Blockchain-based applications, built on this framework, can deliver increased efficiencies, transactional security and accuracy at a lower cost than the existing high-cost ledger platforms that underpin the global banking systems.

 

Andy Dey, President - Customer & Operations, EdgeVerve said: “Blockchain can offer significant opportunities to modernize legacy processes, reduce costs as well as improve operational efficiency and authenticity of transaction data. At EdgeVerve, we are making significant investments in this space that includes our research facility in Ireland and important financial industry partnerships. Several of the world’s leading financial institutions are already collaborating with us to build blockchain powered banking applications and networks.”
